The proximate cause of famine was a potato disease commonly known as potato blight.

The resulting deaths of 1,517 people is one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history. The high casualty rate resulting from the sinking was due in part to the fact that, although complying with the regulations of the time, the ship carried lifeboats for only 1,178 people.

77: The Legend of Giant's Causeway Fionn MacCool, was no ordinary giant. He was the biggest and the strongest giant in all Ireland. His voice could be heard for miles around. He was so strong that he could lift a hundred men in one of his enormous hands. Fionn lived with his wife in the hills of County Antrim. Fionn’s wife was called Oonagh. One day a messenger came to Fionn’s home. He had come all the way from Scotland with news for Fionn. The messenger told Fionn that a Scottish giant called Benandonner wanted to fight him. Benandonner wanted to show that he was stronger than any giant in Ireland. Fionn had never seen Benandonner before, but he knew that he was the biggest giant in Scotland. Fionn was not afraid. The next day, Fionn began to build a path across the sea to Scotland. This path was called the causeway. It was made of thousands of rocks. Fionn built many miles of the causeway with his great hands. When Benandonner heard about Fionn’s causeway, he decided to build the Scottish end of the causeway himself. For weeks the two giants worked hard at building the causeway. One morning Fionn was in the forest near his home. He saw his wife coming towards him. He ran over to her. She said to him, “I have heard that Benandonner is the biggest and the strongest giant in all the world. He is twice as big as you and twice as strong!” Fionn was very worried. “I cannot fight a giant that is twice my size!” That night as the sun was setting, he heard a knock on the door. It was the messenger. “Benandonner wants to fight you tomorrow at sunrise,” he told Fionn. “Yes, of course,” replied Fionn. Once the messenger had left Fionn and Oonagh went into the bedroom and took the blankets off the bed. Fionn and Oonagh worked through the night. They cut the blankets and made giant baby clothes. Fionn put on the baby clothes and got into a giant cradle. At sunrise the next morning, Oonagh heard a loud knock on the door. Benandonner asked if Fionn was home. Oonagh told him that he was gone for a walk and that he would be back soon. She invited him in. It was not long before Benandonner heard a baby cry. He asked whom it was, pointing to the cradle. Oonagh said, “That’s young Fionn, our baby. Benandonner thought that if this is the size of their baby, how big would Fionn be? Then he ran out of the home as fast as he could. He ran across the causeway destroying it as he went as he was afraid that Fionn might follow him.
